HMG Paints has relaunched Ferrozinc, a water-based rust converter that can be used in areas where shot blasting, or complete rust removal is impractical.

James Burton of HMG, said: “Ferrozinc has been a popular product for our customers for a number of years and we’re proud to introduce the new 250ml size. It’s such a handy product for users in a number of industries from decorators and industrial applicators to agricultural and classic vehicle restoration.”

Ferrozinc is said to provide an alternative to traditional rust removal which has been a time-consuming process, involving hours of wire brushing or the use of strong acidic chemicals that pose safety hazards. This solution is suitable for those working in the decorative or industrial markets, including classic car enthusiasts.

Users only need to remove loose debris and poorly adhered surface rust, followed by a degreasing step to eliminate any contamination that may interfere with the chemical reaction. Afterward, a thin coat of Ferrozinc is applied to the rusted area, and within 30 minutes, the surface transforms into a black/navy colour, indicating the successful rust conversion. Any excess product can be easily wiped off, and after more than three hours, the treated surface is ready to be overcoated with the user's preferred coating system.

Ferrozinc is also available in 1 Litre or 5 Litres.
